The exterior of St. Bonaventure's Capuchin Hostel, Victoria Cross, Cork. Construction work on the near-complete Cork County Hall on Carrigrohane Road is visible in the background. Completed in 1968 and designed by Cork county architect, Patrick McSweeney, the 16-storey building was some 64.3 metres high, and supplanted Dublin’s Liberty Hall as the country’s tallest building. It has since been superseded as the Republic’s tallest structure by the 17-storey (68 metre) high Elysian building also located in Cork.
